S. 3283 would prohibit U.S. citizens from holding citizenship or nationality in any foreign country simultaneously. The bill requires current U.S. citizens who also possess foreign citizenship to choose within one year of enactment—either renounce their foreign citizenship or renounce their U.S. citizenship. Those who fail to make this choice within the deadline would be automatically deemed to have given up their U.S. citizenship and would be treated as foreign nationals under immigration law. The legislation applies to individuals who voluntarily acquire foreign citizenship after the bill's enactment date, which would also result in automatic loss of U.S. citizenship. The Departments of State and Homeland Security would have 180 days to develop regulations, procedures, and systems to implement and enforce these citizenship requirements.
